Publications Database
Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!
The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:
- Faculty Member’s Name;
- Area of Expertise;
- Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
- Journal Name; and
- Date Range.
At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.
If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract
With online and offline lives increasingly intertwined, hybrid retail spaces are emerging as new social hubs akin to classical third places. Third places refer to spaces apart from work and home, such as cafes and bars, that provide opportunities for social interaction. While prior research has primarily conceptualized third places as physical establishments, it also acknowledges that online environments, such as multiplayer gaming platforms or chatrooms, can fulfil similar functions. Yet, despite the recognized social-supportive role of retail venues, relatively little is known about how third place atmospheres can effectively be orchestrated in online retail settings. This study addresses this gap through an ethnographic investigation of a digital platform that recreates a physical third place online, enabling consumers to gather for long hours, consuming, conversing, and socializing. We find that, in online retail settings, third place atmospheres can be cultivated through the deliberate orchestration of technology-mediated interaction ritual chains. Through three interconnected processes – ritual framing, boundary regulation, and affective synchronization – that unfold before, during, and after the gatherings, the online setting transforms into a digital third place. Both retailers and consumers play pivotal roles in this transformation. Drawing on these findings, we offer several theoretical contributions and managerial recommendations.Kapoor, Vikram and Belk, Russell (2023).

Abstract
In this case study, we discuss the analysis and some of the often-shrouded aspects of the review process in the context of our recently published Journal of Public Policy & Marketing paper on consumers’ religious ritual changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Observing changes in four Hindu religious rituals in India during the lockdown and the analysis of the data related to those observations revealed the significance of several aspects, such as the different parties having control over ritual changes, the instigators of ritual modification, and the benefits these adaptations brought to ritual participants and to society in general. Although the findings provide provocative insights into the phenomenon, in this case study, we focus here on the discourse analysis approach that helped us gain an understanding of the phenomenon of ritual change during uncertain times and underline the role of the media in disseminating and amplifying cultural representations. We begin the case study with a project overview and frame the context of ritual changes amidst the ongoing pandemic. We then proceed to address five key issues: we define discourse analysis, discuss Carvalho’s (2000) approach to discourse analysis as employed in our study, articulate why we chose a discourse analysis approach over a content analysis approach, illuminate some of the behind-the-scenes decisions and dynamics of the review process, and describe the study’s emergent course, including the role of the reviewers in our manuscript development.Massa, F., Helms, W., Voronov, M. and Wang, L.
